<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Attached is the agenda timetable for the Occupy UK
and Ireland National Conference at Occupy Southend on the 13th, 14th and 15th of
April. Our address is Occupy Southend, 160 Priory Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, SS2
6QN.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Occupy Southend is pleased to announce the hosting
of the next National Conference on Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th
April. Southend has a rich history of long-term protest camps and is well placed
to deliver a first rate conference. Our permanent camp at the disused Lookers
car showroom car park on Priory Crescent sits adjacent to the world renowned
burial site of the Saxon King Sebert. Following discovery and excavation of the
tomb in 2003 the insensitive local council planned to widen the road past the
site, impacting on the grave. One hundred and sixteen trees in the nearby park
also came under threat. These two issues sparked a four and a half year full
time occupation of the site by local campaigners, ending in victory over the
Council.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please could you RSVP your intention to attend as
soon as possible together with your food requirements. We'll be catering for
Vegans and meat eaters alike.</FONT></DIV>

present we have 13 tents on the ground, one bender, one meet and greet tent,
plus a 900 square feet undercover communal area. Other facilities will be added
for the conference.</FONT></DIV>
